There's something about a monkey in clothes that is just fun, silly and engaging. Monkey Up is a movie that is coming to AMC theaters January 22nd through January 31st (one week only!). It was made by the creators of the Air Bud  "Buddies" films. © Air Bud Entertainment Monkey Up tells the story of a monkey named Read more [...]

  Thank you to Zoku for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Kids love treats.  I remember as a little girl, my parents would occasionally pick up some popsicle or ice cream treats for us kiddos to enjoy.  While especially great in the Summer, we were happy to see those boxes any time of year.  So now that we have five young children, I love indulging them with treats from time to time as well.  What I don't Read more [...]

For a year I lived right next to a Dollar General so I became a pretty frequent Dollar General shopper. During that time I learned several ways to save money at Dollar General, and now for 2016 there is a brand new method to add to the list. Shop weekly deals. Check out the Dollar General sale ad before visiting to see what deals are going on. It's pretty common for sale prices to be a 20 to 30 percent savings over the regular price.

Thank you to Family 1st for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. As a parent, I feel completely helpless when my daughters don’t feel well. As soon as they don’t look like their normal self, act like they typically do, or tell me they aren’t feeling well, I kick into caretaker mode. First thing I do is encourage them to drink water. Then I get them comfortable and take their temperatures. I use a VisioFocus Smart Read more [...]

  Thank you to Rockin' Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I love when I find companies that give back.  Having a mission to help others really drives me towards making a purchase from them.  So when I first heard about the company, Rockin' Baby, I was immediately drawn by their efforts to support Mothers and Children and make a real difference in this world. In their Baby Wearing Line, they offer Reversible Read more [...]

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Megabus.com. The opinions and text are all mine. My great-grandma and my grandma on my mom's side both had breast cancer. So far, two of my moms four sisters have also had breast cancer. While I wasn't born yet when my great-grandma and grandma had breast cancer, it's been hard to see my aunts have to face these battles. It also raises a big concern for me about my mom, my female cousins, my sister and myself. It just seems like an awful Read more [...]

This post was sponsored by Lionsgate as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I have a lot of siblings who are quite a bit older than I am. As a little kid I remember wanting to grow up so that I could go to the movie theater like they did. They seemed to look forward to seeing movies so much and always came back in such great spirits. I was so excited when I finally got to go to the movies for the first time, and we were going to go as a whole family. The movie was supposed Read more [...]
